Phubbing, a term coined from "phone" and "snubbing," refers to the act of ignoring someone in a social setting by paying more attention to a mobile device, such as a smartphone, instead of engaging with the person physically present. This behaviour often involves scrolling through social media, texting, or browsing the internet while in the company of others.
